Well, if Poser actually used ANY form of 3D Accelleration I would highly recommend that you stay away from the VooDoo series. The Voodoo cards are optimized for 16-bit color. That is a palleted color depth, meaning that you would see banding in any 3D application. What you need is a 32-bit color optimized card such as the Riva TNT2 Ultra, Geoforce 256 DDR, ATI Rage128 (incl. -pro and -Maxx) or any other card based on a true 128bit or 256bit architecture. You also need 32 MB of video ram minimum. The more the better because the card will be able to hold larger textures in memory. You need 32 bit color in any graphics app to give you a TRUE picture of what you are creating. 16-bit doesn't cut it. Poser is a special case in 3D however because it does not use ANY form of 3D accel. The program only uses your systems standard GDI (graphical interface acceleration). Fortunately all of the above cards with the EXCEPTION of the voodoo series includes that ability. The later series of voodoo cards (i.e. 3) does include GUI acceleration wich WILL assist in the overall speed of the system and help with poser in general. However the Voodoo cards run very very HOT. This increases the overall workload on the system due to excess heat. As a result they tend to be a poor choice in chassis that do not have proper ventilation. In general graphics applications will benefit from a fast video card. Some more than others. Color depth, maximum screen resolutions, overal speed and amount of memory are all factors to consider in a new video card. My personal pick: ATI Rage FURY. Reason: Large texture memory (32MB), 128-bit processor technology, 32-bit color optimized. (And it plays my games great too...) Hope that helps. Kyrin
